FOOTBALL

Standing in the bleachers of the football field at St. John Fisher College in Rochester, New York, Craig Bryden pointed towards the 30-yard-line, where the Buffalo Bills quarterbacks were warming up for a training camp session. "See him, No. 5?" Craig asked. "That's Tyrod Taylor. No. 5. He follows Daron on Twitter."

Daron is Craig's 13-year-old son, and he already has been billed as the best young quarterback in the country. Since attending his first football camp at the age of six, where coaches admired his beautiful spiral throws, Daron's prospects as a player have been on the rise—a product as much of social media as of his efforts on the field.

Shepard recalled the first time he heard it, during Rebel fall camp, ''He (blows the whistle), 'Tee did you hear my whistle? Can you hear the whistle?' I'm like no, but blow it again. Whoa! I was amazed."
